Brainstorming:
We are going to take a look at how the classroom dynamic has shifted as technology has become more prevalent in classrooms today. Specifically, we plan to research how the teacher’s role and the students’ roles have changed and how that is affecting relationships in the classroom as well as how teachers and students can find a happy medium in the 21st century classroom.
